PICC Precepting / Midline Precepting
Many nurses who attend a PICC training class are later precepted by a
PICC qualified individual at their place of employment. If you do not
have precepting opportunities available at your facility; or if you
wish to become PICC Qualified through Infusion Knowledge, Inc., we offer hands-on PICC Clinicals, which will provide precepted live PICC insertions in an acute care environment.

Our PICC insertion (Midline insertion) clinicals are scheduled upon request and are available in Tampa Bay, Florida. Nurses must meet all prerequisite criteria, as well as provide all required documentation.
The 1-day Midline - Traditional PICC Clinical will consist of the possibility of up to 3 one-on-one, instructor supervised, hands-on, bedside, Midline (or traditional PICC) insertions; on patients in a variety of care settings. The participant will receive a completed skills validation form with a written assessment of proficiency for each insertion performed. Prerequisite: PICC 101 & PICC 102 within the past 3 months; some restrictions may apply. Our Midline-Traditional PICC Clinicals are currently facilitated through The Institute of Nursing Excellence.
The 2 or 3-day MST - Ultrasound PICC Clinical will consist of observation/ simulated skills, and actual hands-on experience with the possibility of up to 3 one-on-one, instructor supervised, hands-on, Ultrasound PICC insertions utilizing the Modified Seldinger Technique (MST). The participant will receive a completed skills validation form with a written assessment of proficiency for each insertion performed. Prerequisite: PICC 101, PICC 102 & PICC 103 within the past 6 months; some restrictions may apply. Our MST-Ultrasound PICC Clinicals are currently facilitated through St. Petersburg College.

Just a quick note to thank Kay for the amazing experience of learning I received at Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater. The I.V. Team at that facility is one of the highest caliber. Additionally, they seemed to go out of their way to make me feel comfortable and welcome. The instructor, Bill, was extremely patient and knowledgeable. I feel very good about the class and will recommend it to others. Thank you again.

The hospital setting provided a wide variety of situations for PICC placement & troubleshooting & patient types. Melanie is delightful to work with and loves her job & it shows. She provides an excellent and nuturing learning environment. She is very knowledgeable and confident regarding her skills and shares them freely. It was a pleasure to learn from her.

Increasing my PICC knowledge in general; learning techniques to improve my understanding of the ultrasound. This is the "best" class I have attended; I am impressed at the professionalism of Melanie, Kay and all the team members at Morton Plant I.V. Therapy. The nurses I encountered each have high levels of expertise and knowledge.
